Executive, Leadership & Career Coach
Top 100 coaches on Topmate
After over 30 years in IT, culminating in a CTO role at Innoviti Technologies, I decided to pursue my passion for coaching people. Coaching people in my corporate life was the most fulfilling part of my career—watching how I could positively impact people and seeing them grow in their careers and lives. I took to coaching to positively impact many more lives, expanding beyond the corporate boundaries. The new journey has been very satisfying for me - It's my way of paying forward to society and the universe for shaping and making me what I am today. And I am forever in gratitude for this opportunity to impact so many more lives.

Why Muktā?
Muktā was inspired by the observation that many clients found their potential, which had been hidden from them for years, through coaching sessions.
Muktā (Sanskrit: मुक्त) – means both a “pearl” and a “liberated/freed soul”
Pearl = The hidden potential in clients
Liberated soul = Coaching that helps the client get liberated from limiting beliefs/assumptions/biases holding them back from realizing their potential
